To all 'whom/,it mayconcern:

Be it known that I, HUGO BRINKTIAUS, a citizen ofthe United States,residinguat borough oBrooklyn, in the county 0f Kings andState of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements `.1n AHair-`Dressing Devices, of which thefollowing is a specification,referencebeing had therein tothe accompanying drawings, formingpart thereof; l iY My invention relates tohair dressing.v devices and relatesparticularlyv to devices'for producing theMarcel wave. l a i An objectof my invention is toproduce a wave which will closely resemble thenatural wave of the hair which is fortunately possessed by but a fewwomen, although dey sirerd by the` many.` Another object ofmy inventionis to produce a device which automatic in its wave-producing operation,thereby doing away with the manipulation of the hair heretoforecommonlyv necessary,

it being onlywrequired to press' v.the strand of' hair between twohairfpres'singmembers of the device in order `to produce'linfthei, haira complete composite wave of the de-l sired form. s Other` objects of'rmy invenV tion are simplicityorl construction, in'eXp-i` pensiveness ofmanufacture, convenience offuse, durability, reliabilityandxotherobjects and Iadvantages which-'will hereinafter appear.

The wave-producing hair dressing device illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings as an embodiment of; my invention has a heating orheat-applying upper hair-pressing member l whichV has, as appears inthev drawings, a pair of longitudinally eig-tend-` mg gradually roundedconvex ridges 2 arranged in parallel relation alongside ofeach PatentedJan. 13, 1920.l

other whichv form between them an angular:

space or depression Las appears` in' Fig. 3. In theconstructionillustrated in the drawings a longitudinally slotted aperture 4 is shownas provided along the'v line of the angular depression 3, excepting atthe ends of the member 1, at each of which points the two ridge-formingparts or sides 2 of the memberl are joined by a bridge 5, only one ofthese bridges 5 appearing in the drawings and being shown in Figs. l and3 thereof. It will be noted that the wave-producing liair-pressingmember 1 has considerable mass or body so as to retain the heat and isshown as having a flat or plane upper sur-r face excepting at theconnecting bridges 5, while the lower hair-pressing and wave` producingsurface of the member 1 comprises the above described gradually roundedridges 2 and the angular depression 3 v formed between theseridge-forming side parts 2.

A second or lower wave-producing hairpressing member 6 is coperativewith the above described first wave-producing hairpressing member 1. Thelower wave-producing hair-pressing member 6 on its upper side is of acontour which is complementary to the contour of the lowerwave-producing side of the upper member 1. Accordingly the lowerhair-pressing member 6 has a pair of parallel longitudinally extendingconcave gradually curved trough-like depressions 7 alongside of eachother and forming between them a narrow comparatively sharp middle ridge8, the opposite inclined sides of which near the summit thereof aredisposed substantially at right angles to each other (see Fig. 3). Whenthe wave-producing hair-pressing members 1 and 6 are brought togetherthe middle longitudinal angular ridge 8 of the latter is adapted to fitinto the angular depression or space 3 of the former, and likewise thegradually rounded convex ridges 2 of the upper member 1 areadapted tofit into the gradually curved cavities or troughs 7 formed in the upperside of the lower member 6.

In theV drawings the upper and lower wave producing hair pressingmembers l and6 respectively are shown as spaced apart 6 enters thecorresponding angular space Ior' depression 3 between the, side parts orroundof hair.

`(seefFigs. 2 and 3 particularly) for the admission between thesemembers of a strand It willnow be evident that when the hair-pressingmembers 1 and 6 are moved toward each other and pressed against, eachother` withl the strand of hair extending transversely between them,for. 4example asl is indicatedby the transverse broken line 9 in F-ig.l6,' a Wave will be produced inthe hair in planes parallel with thedirection of movement of the members'l` and 6 and the crest of this wavewill be at the middle point where the` lsummit of the comparativelysharp angular ridge 8 of the lower member ed ridges 2 of the uppermember 1. In the construction illustrated in the drawings it is intendedthat the upper member 1 only shall be heated and not the lower member 6.

In addition to the above described wave produced in the 'hair by theinterl'itting adjacent wave-producing surfaces of the hairy pressingmembers 1 and 6, it is desirable to impress upon the strand of hairanother wave in different planes from that of the first wave andpreferably in planes substantiallyat right angles to the planes of thefirst wave which, as above noted, is produced by the complementarycontour of the hairepressing members 1 and 6 as the strand of hairextends transversely thereof as indicated by the broken line 9 of Fig.6. This last mentioned additional or superposed wave impressed upon thehair combines with the first wave to form a composite wave which hasbeen found to aid greatly in simulating naturally wavy hair. Heretoforein hair dressing devices of somewhat the same general nature or type asthat in which my invention is shown as embodied, but without theimprovements effected by my present invention, such anadditional orsecond superposed wave has commonly to some extent been produced bygrasping the` strand of hair in the ngers and pulling it one way or theother while it is held between a pair of hair-pressing members.According' to my invention means are provided by which this second orsuperposed wave in the hair is produced automatically concurrently withthe forming of the first wave` and by the bringing together of themembers 1 and 6 upon the transversely extending strand of hair whichlies between them.

The above mentioned means for producing the superposed second wave inthe strand of hair will now be particularly described. The lowerhair-pressing member 6 is shown asfmade of comparatively thin althoughsufiiciently strong andrigid suitable metallic material and is shown asof substantially equal thickness throughout. This lower hair-pressingmember 6 is provided with a plurality, shown as four, yofparallellongitudinally extending rollerreceiving openingspor. slots 10, asappears in the drawings, two of these slots 10 being in the outermargins of the member 6 adjacent to the outer edges thereof, and theremaining two of the roller-rcceiving'slots 10 being located atoppositesides of the apex or crest of the middle angular ridge v'8, these twointermediate or middle roller-receiving slots 10 being nearer to eachother than they are to the marginal 'or outer slotsV 10,` as clearlyappears in the' drawings. The roller-receiving slots 10 in the lowerhair-pressing member' 6 are shown as all of the same dimensions astewidth and length. `Nave-producing rollers are pivotallymounted in therollerreceivi'ng slots 1Q to have spiral or combined rotative andlongitudinal movement therein, t-h'ese rollers Ibeing correspondinglyshorter than the roller-receiving slots 10 and comprising a pair ofouter rollers 11 and a pair of inner-or middle rollers 12.

The Wave-*producing rollers 12 of the im ner pairfof'such rollers areoppositelyarranged relatively tof each other` and each ofthese' rollers12 is provided With `a -l'ong spi# rally screw-threaded pivot orjournal'19 and' af short similarly js'pirally screwethreadedv pivot orjournal 20.v The longspiral pivots' 19 are j ournaled in internallyspirall'y sorevri threaded journal openings 21S providedin oppositev`ends off the lower' hair-pressing member f6, and the short spiralpivots Q() are Similarly ournaled in internally spirally screw-threadedjournal-providing openingsv 22, these bearingsQQ being of greater lengththani the `short spiral pivots() and being` correspondingly provided`with the:V internal spiral screw-threads throughoutonly a por` tion oftheir-length suilicient' to vaccommodate thesh'ort spiral pivots Q0. Theouter ends of Athe bearings 2Q' arev closed by screw'- threaded abutmentplugs 23 and coiled thrust springs 24efact` between` these plugs lf andthe free endsofthe sho'it'spiral `pivotsI 20.- It is to be noted thatthe `spiral pivots 19a-nd 2O for the'inner'Wave-producing rollers '12have-a right-liandfspiral `thread,`as appears-in Figs. 11, 6, 7, SandS'of tliedraivings. The coiledthrust springs 24 normally hold the 'innerrollers 12 vat opposite ends of their slots 10, as shown in Figs.` 1,6and S,` and also maintain these rollers -ina rotative 100 position in-Whichthey project upward'- t'0- Ward the upper hair-pressing member 1i,and the rollers A'12 also in their eecentric-relation proj ect. slightlyiii-'Ward f toward "feach r* other similarlyy tobut to a somewhat-,Jessextent 105 thany the similari relationship of:VVV the! outer? rollers"11I Ito each otheryas 'liereinbefored'c scribed, and asappearsinifull'linesfinvFig.

Also lWhen-'the inner w'ave-producing rollersfl@ -are moved 'aw-ay fromthe above L10 notedln'ormal position, y'as yshoW-n Fig; 1 7i andindicated byv broken circular ff lines 1 in Fig.` 3,1' thethiust'spi'iiigs will have a tendency to-returnthenithei'etd v It willbev noted that the' arrangement is' 115 such not only that'the inner`rollersl areA adaptedv when they rotate in'oppositedirec tions as abovel'described to move `endvcr-ise'.` in opposite* directions? relativelyto eachother; butl also that `eachfoffthe` inner rollers l2 120 movesin'an' opposite direction yrelatively toY its next adj acent outerroller 171, fwhen this outer roller 11 rotates in' 4the fsamelfdirectonv as its next adjacent inner roller12,'as :here-E inbeforedescribed. #It will now be evident 125 that each of the wave-producingrollers, Whether 11 0h12, will hayeimparted to it an endvvisewave-producing movement in a direction opposite to that' ofyits adjacentneighbor, or neighbors, as thelcase may be, 130

it being noted in this connection that one of the outer rollers 11 andone of the inner rollers 12 at the sameside of the middle line of thehair-pressing member 6 rotate together' inthe same direction Yand thatthe corresponding rollers 11 and. 12 at the other` side of the lowerhair-pressing member 6 rotate;` together in the same' directionrelatively to each other, but in an opposite direction relatively totherollers 11 and 12 above mentioned as at the opposite side of the member6.

. From the above description and explanation ofthe construction andoperatlon, it will be. readily understood that when the upper and lowerhair-pressing members 1 and 6 respectively are moved toward each otherand as a result of this movement are pressed against each other, then,by reason of lthe hereinbefore described eccentric arrangement ofthewave-producing rollers 11 and 12, the pressure of the upperhair-pressing member 1 upon these rollers will have a tendency to rotatethese rollers in directions so that the outer roller 11 and the innerrollerl 12 appearing atthe left in Fig. 3 will be rotatel'together in aclockwise direction as viewed in this figure and as indicated by thearrows, and the outer roller 11 and the inner roller 12' appearing atthe right side in this figure will be rotated together in acounterfclockwise direction as viewed in this figure and as indicated bythe arrows. Itl

will be noted in this connection that in this rotative., movementv ofthe rollers 11 and 12 these `rollers slidel or slip both rotatively andlongitudinally; in reference to the upper hair-pressing member l-bywhich the rotativemovement of the rollers is imparted. This slipping orsliding, however, is facilitatedbyfthe strand of hair which islinterposed between the hair-pressing members 1 and 6i and between theupper hair-pressing memberland "the upper surfaces of the ywave-prqducing rollers '11 and 12, the position 'of the strand )of hairto begin with or initially being indicated, `as hereinbefore described,by the broken line 9 of Fig. 6.

When the .hair pressing members 1 and 6 have been forciblypressedtogether and against each other with thestrand of hair betweenthem, the. wave-producing rollers 11 and 12 will bes'hifted by reason'of rotation on their spirally'threaded pivots so that the rollersv 11and 12- will be moved, against the tension of Ithe thrust springs 18 and24, to the opposite ends yof the slots 10, as shown in Fig.- of thedrawings, and correspondingly thel strand of hair will havea second orsuperposed wave impressed thereon substantially ofthe shapeor contourindicated by the irregular broken line of Fig. 7. It is to be noted inthis connection that the rotativey movement of" the waveproducingrollersr 1f1and12 has a tendency to draw the hair inward from both sidesof the hairpressing members 1 and 6, thereby to provide the additionallength of hair needed for producing the second or superposed wave. Whenthe pressure of the hairepressing members 1 and 6 is releasedor'relieved, the'wave-producing rollers 11 and 12 will be retracted orrestored to their original or initial position, as shown in Figs. 1, 2,3, 6, 8 and 8a of the drawings, by means of the thrust springs 18 and24: respectively.

Manually operated means are provided for moving the hair-pressingmembers 1 and 6 toward or away from each other and such means include aparallel motion for imparting movement to the hair-pressing members 1and 6 in parallel planes thereby for effectually securing the abovedescribed waveproducing operation, particularly with reference tothewave-producing rollers 11 and 12, and such manually operated meanswill now be described.

The upper hair-pressing member 1 at one end thereof near-the middle isprovided with a rigidly projecting bar forming a tang 26,

and the member 1 at the same Iend and also is also provided with aprojecting bar form 9 ing a tang 28 substantially similar to the tang26. However, the tang 28 of the lower hair-pressing member 6 is shown aspivoted toa small lug 29 projecting from the end of the hair-pressingmember 6 just adjacent to the middle line thereof, and this middle tang28 vof the lower hair-pressing member 6 is shown as of twice thethickness of the lug 29 and as notched thereover. The reason forpivoting the tang 28 to the lower hair-V pressing 'member 6 willpresently appear, but for the present it is only necessary to considerthe projecting bar or tang 26 of the upper hair-pressing member'l andthe `projecting bar or tang 28 of the lower hairpressing member 6intheir relation to each other.

Upper and lower handle members 30 and 31 are' provided and are connectedtogether to form levers by means of a-rivet 32 which forms a pivot-between the handle members. The handle levers 30 vand 31 are providedwith hand loops as shown and at points equidistant from the centralpivot 32 where the handle levers 3() and 31 cross each other, theselevers are provided with yother rivetsy forming pivots, thesepivot-forming rivets being four in number of which' the rivets 33 and 34are carried by the ends `of the respective lower and upper handle levers31 and 3()y adjacent to the hair-pressing members 1 and 6, the rivet 33serving pivotally to connect the lower handle lever 31 to the lug27 onthe upper hair-pressing member 1, and the corresponding pivot- .formingrivet 34' similarly serving to connect'the adjacent end lof the upperhandle lever to thexadjacent end of the tang 28 of the lowerhair-pressing. member 6,

and this pivot-forming rivet. 34 also passes through the lug 29 andthereby serves also pivotally to connect the tang 28 to the lowerhair-pressingmember 6. The other pivot- :formingfrivets and 36-arecarried respectively by .the upper and lower handle. memybers-3.0. andv:31'.1atpoints adjacent to the 1 handlerloopsthereof' and rigidlyproject @from .thefhandleamembers through slots 37 3: and v38 formedlongitudinally respectively in the f outer rend vof .the rigidlyconnected ttang 2B-pot the upper. hair-pressing memlber. 1 and'. intheadjacentouter endof the piv'otally connectedv tang 28 of thelower-fhair-pressing. member 6.

:It will now be clearly `evident that pivl otal movement of the handleleversc30 and 31 will cause thebars orftangs 26 and 28 of the upper and4lower hair-.pressing finembers 1 andi6, respectively, tomove in parallclplanes relatively vto` each other. It

The reason for this folding arrangement vforthelowerhair-pressing .member 61s to permit the convenient heatingof the upperhair-pressing member 1, 1t being unnecessary to heat thelowerhairpressing member 6. and alsobeingundesirable becausefof the possibleliability of damaging the .wave-.producing rollers 1'1 and 12 and theiradjuncts such as the springs and. pivots. It will benoted that, merelyvas a matter of convenience in construction, Vthe tang 28 of the lowerhair-pressing member 6 at a middle point thereof-is bent around andforms a notch 44 for the reception of the pivot 32 whichconnects thehandle levers 30 and 3l. Also it will be noted of the construction shownin the drawings that .slight notches 45 are provided in the ends of theupper hair-pressing member 1 for the reception of. journal bosses 46shown .as formed lon the lower hair-pressing member 6,.as appearsV atone end of the hair-pressing members in Fig. 3.
